I didn't pay attention to this before either, but then I realized that if there are many of them (gremlins), they are like archangels for golems...

By the way, I like the appearance of the greyscale golems... they turned out quite well, and I also like the Rakshasas... especially how their legs glow, and the djinns look more impressive... and original, because in Heroes of Might and Magic III they looked like ifrits...

For the colorful ones, the color of these golems is rather dull, and they are made in a general color scheme – predominantly in blue-gray tones, and a colorless lump is too cliché. But again, the creativity with the gargoyle is too much.
As for the genies... they have heads :) only they are small and not visible from under the hat... and their eyes don't float in the air either.

The golems in the third game are much better! And the genies are also not as good as they should be!
If a golem is blue-gray, does that mean it's made of aluminum?
And the genies are just weak....
I have no complaints about the rakshasas.

Anyway, it's all a matter of taste...
You understood that these are Djinns, right? Or did you use hints?

There hasn't been such an Eastern-inspired aesthetic as in Heroes of Might and Magic 5. Although mages have always had some Eastern elements. Take the genies, for example.
In general, the Academy is, in my opinion, the fourth-best faction out of six. There are many ranged units, combined with incredibly strong (and expensive) titans.
However, all units are very slow, except for the weak gargoyles.
Goblins are only used at the beginning because they are weak and slow (although they are the only ranged units at level 1, besides upgraded skeletons).
Gargoyles are only good in very large numbers to neutralize enemy ranged units, and they also have good magic resistance, especially obsidian ones.
Golems are incredibly slow. I almost don't use them in the game, only in the early stages. But as enemies, they are good for leveling up a hero.
Mages are essential at all stages of the game, and upgrading them is highly desirable.
Genies are the second most useless after golems. They are not strong enough for their level, they don't fly very far, and they are large in size.
The ability to cast random spells is worse than mages.
Rakshasas are good because of their retaliatory strike ability, they are very durable, but also slow.
Colossus-Titans: Colossi are good, and titans are even better. Upgrading is a must!

If we talk about the visual aspect, I'd say it's not outstanding, especially the colossi-titans... I really liked the graphics in Heroes of Might and Magic III... As for the power, as they say, "to each their own," in my opinion, there's no need to overdo it with the strength of the units, because magic is the key, but I feel a little sorry for the Rakshasa; I would give them more speed and some kind of ability, like a curse or fear effect...

Gargoyles are only good in very large numbers to neutralize enemy archers, and they also have good magic resistance, especially obsidian ones.
Only with powerful additional artifacts. Otherwise, their rating is (0 out of 10).
Djinn are the second most useless after golems. They are not strong enough for their level, they don't fly very far, and they are also large in size.
Djinn have very high damage, 16 - 22 (unit). However, they have few hit points. Because of this, they die like flies, faster than anyone else.

Djinn are not useless because, if built with the additional structure, they fully pay for themselves without burdening the Castle in terms of money. It's like a freebie at the expensive Academy.
Rakshasas can increase their initiative, so they're not that slow.
Golems are a nightmare for opponents on small maps, especially with a hero specializing in Golems, as they often receive logistics bonuses (we're interested in the March of the Machines). Plus, a small number of artillery and Golems with an initiative of 11-15 can break through the entire map (8)).
Gargoyles are great even without an upgrade; they have a high flying range and initiative, plus 20 HP and high armor. And most importantly, they are cheap and reproduce in large numbers, which is again relevant given the high cost of the Castle.
Colossus can still be useful in some situations, but Titans don't pay for themselves at all. Five to seven Titans cost around 65,000 gold, which is a lot even without considering resources, and the gem cost is even higher. In short, forget about them; it's better to spend gems on artifacts.
Mages are only useful to me if they are upgraded; otherwise, four of them are only needed as a lightning rod for the first spells (of course, not for a living person, otherwise only upgrade them).
Goblins are a must-have; against a player, gather all your damage dealers together, otherwise, they will repair the Golems, and that's a disaster.

I like the Titan. I don't like engaging in serious battles without level 7 creatures. Although, I know some very fast players who can complete a map in 10 minutes without building level 6 or 7 dwellings! Plus, a ranged unit like the Titan in an army with two other ranged units already present won't be superfluous (although I agree – it's an expensive unit!).

And regarding completing a map in 10 minutes... do you mean completing the main quest and that's it... or just killing the only enemy? :) There is such a tactic, I agree, but in my opinion, it's not
